Description

The Andromeda Galaxy or M31 is the nearest large neighbor of our Milky Way and it sits some 2.5 million light-years away. Andromeda Galaxy contains roughly one trillion stars and it stretches more than 200,000 light-years in diameter. 
This is my first proper attempt at this galaxy. I wish I could have captured more data on this but weather was not helpful.
